mobilenvidia Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 The drivers are now being dished out from North Carolina Website/Forum are still in Utah, this will follow shortly Anyone with a really fast connection could they please test the new facilites. If they could report back with their findings, ie better or worse than before or even a speed compared to another site ie NVIDA as per below Test file 344.24_win8x64 (LV2go in North Carolina) Test file 344.24_win8x64 (NVIDIA US driver) Our test file is smaller due to extra compression we use to host. NVIDIA test file is 'US' version which is in reality smaller than the International version we host. Will be good to see how we do, against the giants.

zipper Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Nvidia is 4-5x faster for me, almost maxing my 1.4 MB max speed; LV2go gets about 350 kB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Wonder if NV is redirecting you to a server in Germany or even closer via CDN Can you please ping 216.228.121.209 (NVIDIA in the US) and 104.171.118.19(our download server) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_pigggy Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Testing from Belgium with an 160mbps connection. (although currently on wifi --> speedtest.com maxed out at 120mbps) my results: LV2go in North Carolina: max 11MB/s (~85mbps) NVIDIA US driver: max 6MB/s (~50mbps) Looks great. Keep up the good work!!! Will retest when I can directly connect pc to ISP. Edited October 10, 2014 by Mad_pigggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tribaljet Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Well, I have to say I'm very pleasantly surprised as for some reason I'm getting around 1MB/s from Nvidia while your servers maxing my downstream at 12MB/s, so major thumbs up :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 12MB/s is stuff I can only dream of I get on a downhill slope with tail wind 380KB/s Supposedly better internet is coming to my neck of the woods in the next 9 months. Getting to point of comparing dial up to broadband a few years back. Keep those comparisons coming, would be good to get a global indication of who's getting what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Why didn't I think of this before. Below is speed of exactly same driver 344.24_win8x64 from both NVIDIA server and our NC server The speed test is done using our Salt Lake City server We are 3x faster than the Juggernaught that is NVIDIA :-P LaptopVideo2go at BigBrainGlobal in North Carolina wget http://download.laptopvideo2go.com/nvidia/344.24-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe --2014-10-10 16:55:51-- http://download.laptopvideo2go.com/nvidia/344.24-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe Length: 319654864 (305M) [application/octet-stream] Saving to: “344.24-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe.1” 100%[======================================>] 319,654,864 28.6M/s in 12s vs NVIDIA Server wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/344.24/344.24-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe --2014-10-10 16:56:18-- http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/344.24/344.24-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe Length: 319654864 (305M) [application/octet-stream] Saving to: “344.24-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe.2” 100%[======================================>] 319,654,864 9.72M/s in 34s Very pleased with new found server, bigger better and faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfm Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I was only able to download the file once from your new server, I went to try again using wget to get a better overall transfer speed instead of chrome and I was unable to connect to the server a second time. I tried to send a custom User-Agent and Referer header thinking there was a restriction, but then I couldn't download it again with Chrome either. So here's my non-scientific results: laptopvideo2go: Chrome said 4.6MB/s at the end of the transfer: so .. 39 Mbit/s, which is probably not representative of the transfer, it looked like it peaked around 54Mbit/s nVidia: 60 Mbit/s using wget Using Speedtest.net my link is 80Mbit down, 10Mbit up.. (If i plug in wired to my router I get about 105 Mbit down.., it's Wifi/Encryption overhead etc killing my WiFi speed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipper Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Lv2go speed here is up to 1.1MB/s now. Pings 125 ms vs 197 for Nvidia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfm Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I tried again.. doing a few runs each to account for any variance in internet routing or WiFi quality. (Connected to my Asus RT-N66U on latest firmware at 300Mbit/s) Note these are average transfer speeds for the entire file, I see the rate fuxuating a little most of the time: laptopvideo2go: 2014-10-11 12:32:30 (5.34 MB/s) - `34424_win8x64.exe' saved [254786316/254786316] 2014-10-11 12:39:56 (2.03 MB/s) - `34424_win8x64.exe.1' saved [254786316/254786316] (This one started painfully slow then sped up at the end) 2014-10-11 12:42:54 (3.07 MB/s) - `34424_win8x64.exe.2' saved [254786316/254786316] (Same here, seems to get faster at the end but started faster than before) 2014-10-11 12:47:53 (5.52 MB/s) - `34424_win8x64.exe.3' saved [254786316/254786316] 2014-10-11 12:49:06 (5.73 MB/s) - `34424_win8x64.exe.4' saved [254786316/254786316] nVidia: 2014-10-11 12:33:45 (5.68 MB/s) - `344.24-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe' saved [319654864/319654864] 2014-10-11 12:44:56 (8.55 MB/s) - `344.24-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe.1' saved [319654864/319654864] 2014-10-11 12:46:47 (7.78 MB/s) - `344.24-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe.2' saved [319654864/319654864] 2014-10-11 12:51:28 (5.11 MB/s) - `344.24-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe.3' saved [319654864/319654864] (saw a lot of fluctuation here) Summary, there's nothing wrong with your download speeds. I saw fluctuation across the board, seems it was probably on my end most likely. I know it's not the same exact file, but the files were large enough to get a good picture of average download speed of a 200MB+ file..

mobilenvidia Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 If any one wants to try it now One CPU (4C/8T) is taken up with running Folding@Home, medium setting, but still 87% CPU use. Would be interesting to see how the transfers go now. The other CPU should be able to cope with the data flow. Keen to keep the Folding going, something for all those cores to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggo0 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm having an odd issue with every file I'm downloading is corrupt/will not open...tried several different web browsers and even a different internet connection. Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Just tested at work and all is fine. Not sure what is afoot, even download accelerators should work fine here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggo0 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Here is an example of the error I am getting. It started happening to me after the move to the new servers: I do not use any download accelerators, Google Chrome is stock besides Ad Block Plus. Routing is a very basic install of pfSense. ISP is Comcast. Here is another one I just finished downoading: I tested this at work as well, Comcast, ipcop router. IIRC - IE 11 and Firefox do the same. Edit: Tested from my wifes rig, my work laptop, a laptop I just did a clean load on and 2 virtual machines...all files seem to be 'damaged'. Interesting....I'm pretty tech savvy so if you'd like I can do whatever you need to help you figure this out.

mobilenvidia Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 OK, yes I see, I'used link from first post which is fine Later drives seem to have 7zip issues. I'll have a closer look, weird, I use the command line version of 7z to compress, something might be afoot here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Command line version not working Hmmm, I 'll have to check back to all drivers that used this setup :( My apologies, and thanks for pointing out The files will open with 7z app, just fine, looks like an issue with the executable part of 7z not happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobilenvidia Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Tracked it down to a 7zip sfx switch. Easily fixed for future drivers, I'll need to redo the older ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
